about

The Living Mirror is a collection of acoustic guitar improvisations recorded at home in Greensboro, North Carolina from July to October in 2021. Developed into mirror form, there are two different versions (A & B sides) for four titles: Scintilla, Spoke of Dew, Wheelworker, and Zahar. Like much of my recent work, The Living Mirror is inspired by my ongoing divination dreamwork (the astramira or "Wondering Stars"). This music also co-evolved with a series of acrylic paintings, ink drawings, and short meditative songs, all exploring metaphysical spaces and supersensual tangibilities.

Matt is the author of Buddhist Bubblegum: Esotericism in the Creative Process of Arthur Russell ("groundbreaking work," New York Times), published by Coolgrove Press. He is also the host of Secret Sound, an audio series revealing the influence of esoteric spirituality on marginalized voices in American music history.

Matt's visual art and music are often rooted in his own dreamwork divination practice - the Astramira or "Wondering Stars" - which has been featured as a solo art exhibition at Greensboro Project Space. Matt holds a BA in Speech & Hearing Science from Portland State University, a PhD in music composition from Princeton University, and a totemic black rattlesnake from his dreams.
